Kevin Garnett says he fired his agent after learning he rejected Minnesota’s
$122,000,000 offer while on vacation. KG later signed an NBA record $126,000,0
00 contract
“I’m in Jamaica, and I’ll never forget this. I got the USA Today, I pop it
open, the first joint says, ‘Garnett denies $122 million.’ And I’m like, ‘
What the fuck.’ I had a bowl of fruit in my lap and I remember it spilled. I
tapped shorty, ‘We gotta go.’ And I zoomed home”
“The problem was I never got to deny anything. The agent did. So the first th
ing I checked him about was, ‘Don’t be speaking for me.’ He was like, ‘Thi
s is how it goes. This is the process.’ And I was like, ‘Nah.’ I didn’t re
ally like that so I fired him”
“Because my movement and me being able to speak for myself was huge for me. I
didn’t want somebody speaking for me. I’m right here. I can say it. I proba
bly would’ve taken the $122 million. But he was pushing me and really teachin
g me the business of how basketball works”
“He was like, ‘These are the incentives. What’s the vision you have for you
rself. This is what we’re going to implement right here. Those things you jus
t named. We’re going to put in flight time. We’re going to put in private ch
arters. We’re going to put in the vacation’”
“We were making a wish list and then implementing it. I’ll say out of ten th
ings, I got eight of them just because I asked for them. I had the leverage, o
n top of getting what I wanted. I actually wanted to be the one to say that I
knew my worth and I went for it”
KG表示,他在度假時得知經紀人拒絕了明尼蘇達(灰狼隊)1.22 億美元的報價後,便開
除了他的經紀人。KG 隨後簽下了一筆創下 NBA 紀錄的 1.26 億美元合約。
「那時我在牙買加,我永遠不會忘記這件事。我拿了一份《今日美國》(USA Today),
一翻開,頭條竟然寫著:『賈奈特拒絕 1.22 億美元。』 我當時心想:『這他媽的是在
搞什麼?』 我記得當時膝蓋上正放著一碗水果,結果全翻了。我拍了拍身邊的女伴說:
『我們得走了。』然後我立刻飛奔回家。」
「問題在於,我根本沒有拒絕過任何東西,是經紀人擅自拒絕的。所以,我回去找他對質
的第一件事就是說:『不要替我發言。』 他當時回我:『事情就是這樣運作的,這是談
判的過程。』 但我說:『不,我不接受。』 我真的很不喜歡這樣,所以我開除了他。」
「因為對我來說,我的自主權以及為自己發聲的能力非常重要。我不想要有人替我代言。
我就在這裡,我自己會說。如果當初問我,我可能就直接接受那筆 1.22 億美元了。但他
當時確實是在推動我前進,而且真的教會了我籃球這門生意的商業運作模式。」「他那時
告訴我:『這些是激勵獎金。你對自己的願景是什麼?我們現在要把這些放進合約裡。也
就是你剛才點名的那些東西,我們要加入飛行時數、加入私人包機,還要加入度假福利。
』」
「我們當時一邊列出願望清單,一邊逐項去實現。我會說,列出來的十件事裡,我只因為
主動開口要求,就拿到了其中的八件。除了得到我想要的東西外,我還握有籌碼。實際上
,我希望自己能成為那個明確知道自身價值、並且努力去爭取的人。」

某些人是思考能力有問題是不是 不管經紀人後續有沒有可能談更大合約 問都不問直接單方面拒絕掉30億合約 你是KG不中風喔?還是能接受某天回家才得知 你老婆昨天擅自幫你拒絕一份年薪破千萬工作 當老闆時員工私自幫你回絕一份破億大訂單 你們還能笑著說話

那是後來還有更高的報價如果沒有運鈔車就直接開走了經紀人於情於理上都要尊重當事人問一下意見你只是代理人不能幫忙球員作決定但是你可以給他建議球團都嘛會給時間考慮問都不問球員直接回絕掉改天把你隨便賣了都有可能
